Bat Ray Weight Chart

(1/4) > >>

BackBayMan:
Does anybody have an "Official" wingspan to weight chart for bat rays?

We know they grow to 60". Most of the scientific sites list max weight for females at close to 200lbs. I checked the math for this chart and it's solid, but the data came from fishing tournaments and is limited, especially at the top end of the chart. My guess is it's probably skewed a little heavy at the top end due to limited numbers of very large fish being caught. You could also argue that large prego females could be carrying another 25lbs with their pups.

Anyways, this is the best that I can find. What do you think, pretty accurate or BS?

Latimeria:
I'll find our weight chart.  For a while Steve and I were weighing them in a sling with a big 300lb scale.  I want to say the weights were fairly close to tha chart, but I think I recall that chart was a little on the heavy side. 
I'll find it and post it up.

Latimeria:
Steve, I'm missing quite a few weights as I don't have Dave's 54" on here.  Could you send them to me again and I will update my list?

Thanks.

sasquatch:
Texted what I have.

Latimeria:
OK, here is the up to date records after Steve sent me the rest.  Maybe we could continue getting measurements to weights, although a pattern is definitely developing.

I'm going to anchor this for easy viewing.
